Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind: No 8 best romantic film of all timehttps://www.theguardian.com/film/2010/oct/16/eternal-sunshine-spotless-romance
Michel Gondry, 2004<p>Boy meets girl. They fall in love. Girl&nbsp;gets fed up with boy. Girl erases all memories of boy from her mind in&nbsp;a dubious brain-zapping procedure. Boy&nbsp;finds out and does the same. This&nbsp;is&nbsp;a romantic movie, Charlie Kaufman-style. It takes its title from a 1717 poem by Alexander Pope and charts the side of love that movies usually try to ignore: the arguments, the boredom, the irritating habits that drive couples apart and the dreadful, stilted moments that accompany a break-up. Love Actually, it ain't.</p><p>As you would expect from the writer of Being John Malkovich and Adaptation, this is not the story of a doomed relationship told in a straightforward fashion. Joel Barish is a withdrawn, greyish man, played with uncharacteristic restraint by Jim Carrey. Clementine Kruczynski (a brilliant Kate Winslet) is free-spirited, reckless and prone to dying her hair blue. When they meet on a train travelling through wintry Long Island in the film's opening scenes, it's as if they've never met before – but of course they have. The&nbsp;strange attraction that draws them together is down to the fact that, until very recently, they were lovers. Their forgetting is the work of Lacuna Inc., a shady New York company that liberates its clients from unwanted memories.</p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/film/2010/oct/16/eternal-sunshine-spotless-romance">Continue reading...</a>RomanceJim CarreyKate WinsletFilmCultureMichel GondryEternal Sunshine of the Spotless MindSat, 16 Oct 2010 10:47:00 GMThttp://www.theguardian.com/film/2010/oct/16/eternal-sunshine-spotless-romancePhotograph: Ronald Grant ArchiveJim Carrey and Kate Winslet in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
